my week in chicago part I

My recent trip to Chicago brought me sightseeing in the heart of the downtown. This picture was taken at Millennium Park at this piece which I affectionately refer to as the silver egg. Later, with some internet searching I believe it is actually referred to as a "cloud gate"

The architecture of the downtown was an amazing combination of old and new, even a cow to share in the sightseeing!

Perhaps the best experiences of my trip to Chicago are things I don't have pictures of. My favourite experiences were in meeting new people. Strangers were friendly and willing to invite you to their table (more on that later) or stay with you at the pub and have another pint (more on that later too).

Yup, there were many cool things to share from my trip to Chicago. More pictures and stories to come.

Hi, I found your blog while surfing. I'm from Chicago and went to the school there right next to the Millennium Park. I miss those sceneries so much because I'm in LA now. It's funny that people in Chicago don't actually use the official name for that beautiful metal structure but just call it by 'The Bean'. You can guess why! I hope you enjoyed your trip in Chicago. It's such a nice place!!
